Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020142806A1] The present invention provides a thermal energy storage apparatus comprising a housing which defines a hollow interior chamber, the chamber arranged in use to house graphite solids material in an inert gas atmosphere therewithin; and at least one conduit arranged to extend through the hollow interior chamber via inlet and outlet openings in the housing, the conduit being sealingly fitted to the housing at the inlet and outlet openings, and an exterior surface of the or each conduit being arranged in a close facing relationship with the graphite solids material located within the hollow interior chamber, wherein, in use, the or each conduit is arranged for conveying a flow of a fluid therethough such that in a first configuration, said flow transfers thermal energy to the graphite solid material, and in a second configuration, the graphite solid material transfers thermal energy to said flow.
